Simon Cowell saved my life

YOU'RE looking at the next William Hung.
Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul hamming it up for the cameras as American Idol wannabe Renaldo Lapuz belts out his self-penned 'hit' We're Brothers Forever.

His singing may not be awful, like that of the Chinese undergrad-turned-recording artiste, but he is equally endearing.

And he seems to be treading the same path, from Asian reject on American Idol to overnight star.

Unlike Hung, however, Renaldo Lapuz, a Filipino from Reno, Nevada, composed and sang his own song.

He was featured on the 17 Jan audition episode of the latest season of the reality show.

The smiling 45-year-old is shown walking into the audition room wearing a flamboyant outfit and enthusiastically singing his song, We're Brothers Forever, for judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.

For a good 10 minutes, the amused trio encouraged Lapuz to sing the chorus repeatedly.
